Comment Re:*runs at PCIe 2.0 speed (Score 1) 71

At that price point, why not just go for a Alder Lake 'NUC' mini computer? Full x86-64, PCIE4, DDR4 or DDR5 support, full virtualization, etc. Comes with a full casing and power supply. I was gonna get a Pi5 to mess around with the PCIE SSD(as i have bought all the mainline Pis before it), but Alder Lake NUC made way more sense for about the same amount of money.

Currently rocking a Beelink S12 Pro (Alder Lake N100) as my hardware-transcoding Plex server. It came with a legit Windows 11 Pro license, 16 GB of DDR4 (SODIMM, not soldered) and 512 GB SSD on a 2280 card. All for less than your Orange Pi.

One final thing, its so much easier to use/maintain/deploy x86 Linux vs ARM Linux.

Even Apple cant resist it. A good chunk of their in-house apps now have places in the UI for them to place 'nudges', like the fitness app inserts a little window in between your data sets to remind you they have a paid fitness+ option. You cannot look at your data without seeing their ad. They offer it as 'trainer tip of the day' thats 30 seconds long...
